ABOUT HYBRID APP DEVELOPMENT

Why Choose Zco For Hybrid App Development?

Reaching as many consumers as possible can be the difference between a dud app and a smash hit. Hybrid development allows apps for different operating systems to share the same core code, making overall development faster and cheaper. The hybrid team of engineers at Zco has years of experience creating cross platform apps. New features can be released for all platforms at the same time, giving all users the same experience connecting to an enterprise cloud or hybrid cloud.

Hybrid application development combines the advantages of both native and web applications. Enterprise apps benefit from cross platform development as well. When employees can use their own devices, they’re more comfortable with the technology and require less technical support. When all workers use the same software, regardless of device, business just runs more smoothly. Zco’s hybrid mobile app developers can deliver you the best app solution for your business.

Zco Corporation, a leading hybrid mobile application development company headquartered in the USA, offers you next generation apps built with latest cross platform tools. Our hybrid app development services pooled with robust web technology and mobile experience provides faster market delivery and a wider audience reach.

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

How Can Zco Help You With Xamarin App Development?

As a Premier Consulting Partner, Zco has proven success with Xamarin. With native API access, Xamarin projects can take full advantage of advanced features in every operating system, enabling native user interfaces and native performance levels. An average of 75 percent of code is shared across all mobile development platforms, and user interfaces built with Xamarin. Forms share almost 100 percent.

Using Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio, we use C# and .NET to create apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac – simultaneously. Because our customers own all the source code of projects we develop for them, they need fewer resources if they want to update apps on their own. And of course any updates we provide can be done in less time as well.

Appcelerator Mobile App Development

The Appcelerator Platform allows 60 to 90 percent of code to be reused between the same app on different platforms. It also helps us integrate mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) capabilities through the Arrow backend and pre-built connectors for Salesforce, Microsoft Azure, SQL, MongoDB, Box, Swagger, and others. The model-view-controller (MVC) architecture separates user interface, business logic, and data models.

Appcelerator created the open source Titanium Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing coding for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows, Tizen, and HTML5. It’s all based on JavaScript and includes more than 5,000 Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The hybrid programming environment produces native apps for end users.

PhoneGap Mobile App Development

As an open source framework, PhoneGap uses standards-based web technologies HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Once written, the code can be compiled for multiple operating systems. The source code always remains, so updates can be made in the same open languages without the need for platform-specific expertise.

PhoneGap supports APIs for hardware and software features of all modern smartphone operating systems. An app can access a device’s accelerometer, camera, contacts, GPS, and storage, whether it’s running on Android, iOS, Windows Phone 8, or BlackBerry 10.

HTML5 Mobile Development

As the language of the web, HTML enjoys nearly universal support on modern computing devices. HTML5 supercharges the capabilities of web apps with rich media, animation, interactivity, and even hardware access. An HTML5 app can be deployed directly onto the web, for use through a browser.

Wrap HTML5 in a native container and you have the very model of a hybrid app. Smartphone and tablet users can find the app on their respective app stores or through a web search. Any code that runs online will never be out of date on the end user’s device.

WORKING WITH ZCO

Our process for developing hybrid and cross-platform apps is similar to our mobile application development process. Bring us your functional requirements along with any logos, graphics, wireframes, and other work you’ve already done, and we create a plan to develop for your chosen platforms.

As part of your consultation with a Project Manager, you can get answers to burning questions. What hardware will you be able to access? What differences between operating systems are important to consider? What are the advantages of going hybrid versus native for your particular application? We confront these challenges every day and are happy to share our experience with you.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

The Patient Advocate Foundation has been providing resources for individuals facing challenging medical diagnoses since 1996. To complement its online and mail services, PAF hired Zco to create a mobile app to connect patients with insurance and healthcare assistance.

The app, called My Resource Search, is available for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. The patient answers four simple questions to narrow down the exact help available. There are more than 35 assistive categories to choose from, harnessing the power of the National Uninsured and Underinsured Resource Directories. Services range from financial assistance for housing, utilities, and transportation to insurance policy options and medication help.

You Can Fight

Helen Anzalone Gordon has been training in several martial arts for more than 20 years, earning a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. David Ortiz also holds multiple black belts and has been a security professional for more than 30 years. Together, they conceived of an app to teach martial arts techniques usable in an emergency.

You Can Fight features short instructional videos illustrating ways to deal with threatening situations. Gordon and Ortiz personally guide the user through defense strategies against wrist grabs, punches, body grabs, and choking attempts. The app makes it simple to review self defense techniques anywhere on the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
